The crime rate in the United States seems to be a big problem. Drug and convenience stores are robbed by criminals wearing ski masks and carrying guns almost every day. These hit-and-run jobs give a successful felon more and more confidence as the severity of his crimes rise. All of a sudden, an armed robbery goes bad, and this once successful small-time felon becomes a full fledged killer on the run. Now, he is facing the possibility of capital punishment. Even though his life is at stake, capital punishment is the only fair and just way to deal with the senseless murder of innocent civilians.
Humanists argue that capital punishment is not a just way to deal with the crimes of killers. They see it as just a weak and feeble attempt at justifying revenge. Thinking this way will cause any humanist to try and protect the life of even the vilest of criminals. Mohandas Gandhi once said, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." This is true, but the same killers these humanists strive to protect are actually robbing them blind. Life in prison takes part of a humanist's tax money to pay for medical needs and keeping the killer locked up. While locked up, the killer can cause more damage by hurting, or even killing another inmate. So basically the killer will live his life and rot away and die in the prison, and the humanist will waste his money keeping him there.

would rather see the convict be sentenced to death, than to live next door to him.

Ask any member of any race or origin, and you will find that they want to live without having to constantly watch their own backs and protect the lives of their family members and themselves.
